BLADEN COUNTY, NC | PART 1 🌲
County 3/100 in NC

Welcome to Bladen County — aka the “Mother County” of North Carolina. 👀

Why?

Because Bladen County was HUGE when it was created in 1734… and then it kept having children. 😂 How many counties actually came from Bladen County, you ask? You’ll have to follow along for Bladen County Part 2 to find out.

But there’s more to Bladen than being everybody’s mother.

This is Cape Fear country — full of swamps, rivers, pine forests, history, and some seriously unexpected places.

And Dad found a few spots that definitely deserve a Dad Approved stamp.

☕️ Over Yonder in Bladenboro
🍔 Dove’s BBQ in Bladenboro
📕Brown Marsh Presbyterian Church in Clarkton, The Bladenboro Historical Society
🔎Bladenboro, The Beast of Bladenboro, Lu Mil Winery in Elizabethtown/Dublin

Our county tour started in Elizabethtown/Dublin, Bladenboro, and Clarkton and continued to many other cool places in Part 2. Follow along for more Bladen County info and highlights!

POV: You thought you were taking a road trip with your Dad… but apparently you signed up for a full-scale expedition through the hidden gems and unexpected corners of America. 😂

We’re chasing county lines, investigating tiny towns, stopping at questionable roadside attractions, and getting way too excited about historical markers.

Is it glamorous? Absolutely not.

Is it kinda chic? Obviously. ✨

Because some people spend their vacations at resorts.
We spend ours taking pictures next to county signs. 🗺️😂

Counting Counties with Dad: where every wrong turn becomes an adventure. ❤️

We’re exploring America & having a blast! Follow along for the journey.

Welcome to Toole County, Montana! 🌾🛢️🇺🇸

Stretching along the Canadian border, Toole County is where wide-open prairie meets Montana history. From the oil boom that put towns like Kevin and Sunburst on the map to Shelby’s railroad roots and heavyweight championship and the busy border crossing at Sweet Grass, this county has helped fuel, feed, and connect the American West for more than a century.

Small towns. Big skies. A story worth stopping for.

☕️The Prarie Peddler in Shelby
🍔Dash-in in Shelby
🔎Kevin, Sunburst, Gold Butte, Galata, Sweet Grass, Sweet Grass Hills, Carousel Rest Area
📕Marias Museum

Give us a follow to see all of your state’s stories from each county.

What it’s actually like to film with my dad…

I never know what’s going to come out of his mouth. I also never know how many times it will take to get a serious enough video to use. Always a ton of fun. 😂
